This paper proposes a new index of welfare reflecting poverty that takes into account the welfare of the poor and the non-poor in the society. Sen’s analytical frame-work for real income comparisons is modified to widen the scope of welfare interpretation of different measures. Information requirement of the measure is very limited.
